Two Year Blogoversary Giveaways! :D

I graduated yesterday and the entire experience is so incredibly surreal. Four years flew by in a heartbeat and these past two have gone by even quicker. Did I even have a life before blogging? It's difficult to imagine one now. I know I've been slower to post off late, in the midst of my busy schedule, and the truth is that this year--starting college--I'll be lucky to find the time to post at all. I'm working on that, though. Quality over quantity, my friends, and I hope to have some significantly better quality reviews up and running soon this summer!

Either way, I just want to give a big shout out thanks to all of you! I feel like the first blogoversary is so monumental; you made it! You blogged for an entire year and made friends and received ARCs and ahhh, you're sooo cool! Now, the second time around, it feels more like coming home every time I log on to Blogger. It feels like breathing to comment on blogs and engage in long book discussions. It feels only natural to have the last thing you see at night be a pile of ARCs that need to be read and reviewed and have the first thing you see in the morning be a pile of more books to be read and reviewed. It's hard every year because of the challenges of life that somehow interrupt blogging, but reading? Reading is our lives.

Anyhow, I just want to thank each and every one of you for reading my blog, commenting, tweeting me, interacting with me in any way, and for writing gorgeous reviews that make my TBR grow. At this current stage in my life, I really am not sure what I'll finally major in once I attend college or where I'll find an internship (if I do!) or if I'll even find a job I like. I don't know who my teachers or classmates are going to be and in the midst of so much uncertainty, it's a relief to always have this; not just the blog, but the people. I may be traveling six hours away from home, shivering in the cold confines of Boston, but I'll always have this community to keep me grounded, so thank you. Seriously. Year One may have gone to me and a few select bloggers who truly made my experience online special, but Year Two goes to all of you.

I'm running two giveaways for my two-year blogoversary; one for US Citizens and one for International Citizens. Of course, if you live in the US you can enter both giveaways, which is a perk. (BTW--both giveaways end at the end of the month, so a little more than a week to get in as many entries as possible!)

Giveaway #1

I will be selecting three US winners, each of whom will receive one of the following bundles:

Stephanie Kuehn Bundle

Hardcovers of Complicit (out June 24th!) and Charm & Strange

ARC Bundle

Chantress Alchemy (Chantress, #2) by Amy Butler Greenfield, The Raven Boys by Maggie Stiefvater, Torn by David Massey, and Fractured (Guards of the Shadowlands, #2) by Sarah Fine

Wow! Two years! That's so exciting! I have enjoyed every one of your blog posts, and I look forward to more in the future! Also your comments on my blog posts always brighten my day. I mean it. And congrats on graduating as well! You're going to have so much fun in college. Trust me! Thanks so much for the giveaways!

Congratulations on graduating and blogging for two years! That's a pretty big deal. I had a lot of friends and classmates go to college in Boston and all of them had a lot of fun. There is so much to do there! Home was 4 hours away, but 6 is still doable. Don't worry! Good luck with maintaining everything in the future. You write beautifully.

HAPPPPIEST 2 Years blogging! My book life would not be the same without all of your thoughtful insight and willingness to discuss stories with me. I'm so excited for you and whatever the future brings too! Hopefully we'll get to meet up at an event in Boston sometime. xo

Congratulations on your blogoversary, Keertana! You've passed on so many brilliant recommendations, some are now my favorite books/series (Amour et Chocolat/Mercy Thompson)! Each time I visit your site I know I'm going to get an amazing overview of a book in your review and be able to decide whether or not it would be for me which is extremely helpful. I love reading your comments on our blog they're always meaningful, and sometimes it feels like you were inside my mind with the point or observation you make! :)

Congratulations on graduating, too! Boston? Wow! I've only visited once but the city seems amazing! So much history. Thank you for the giveaways as well!

Congratulations on hitting two years, Keekee! Gosh, has it been two years already? I can still remember when you told me you were planning on making a blog. It doesn't seem that long ago. I'm proud of you! <3

Aw, this post is so sweet and reflective. I know what you mean about entering a time of uncertainty - it was definitely so with me. It makes me wish I had a blog when I started college. But post at your own pace - loyal readers like me will continue to read your posts no matter how frequent they are. Good luck with all the new and exciting life changes, dear!

for me this is a very very good information, because its contents make us become better know and learn more about the wide world, so it would greatly add insight for me, laneways that I say many thankspengobatan untuk sembuhkan gondok beracun
